we do not know - but perhaps <hypothosis time> they have already lost out in this issue, and feel that the only thing left is to try to stop other people from going through the same pain </hypothosis>
Although we don't know for sure, I would this was something which at the time they thought was a good idea - without thinking through the consequences.

Yes, they may well have done, in fact I would expect them to have been on the receiving end of an injustice to be members of the group - so again whilst their actions (IMO) are moronic, their message (which has IMO been lost) was fine.

(p.s I'd have green repp'd you back, but apparently I need to spread my seeds around first!!)

I think you missed my point - whilst they might mention the group, they say nothing of what the group is about. The media will take it on themselves to make a mockery out of F4J, becuase they provide light news stories - but they never get across the serious story of what the group was set up for.
